Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground, Multi-purpose stadium in Eastern District, Hong Kong.
Siu Sai Wan Sports Ground is a concrete stadium on a single level, opened in December 1996 on reclaimed land at Siu Sai Wan. It covers about 43,000 square metres and has a permanent seating capacity of 11,981 under a curved arched roof. The pitch is natural grass with an IAAF-standard athletics track.
The ground was built on land reclaimed from the sea off Siu Sai Wan, with reclamation starting in the early 1990s; construction cost over HK$230 million and the stadium opened in December 1996. Typhoon Hato flooded it in 2017, and Typhoon Mangkhut damaged stands and turf in September 2018, forcing closure until reopening in mid-April 2019. A renovation of the track, stands, first-aid room, toilets, changing rooms, lighting and electrical systems closed it from 6 December 2023 to 31 August 2024.
Tung Wah Group of Hospitals rents the ground for two days each year for a joint sports day of its 18 secondary schools, and many other schools hold their annual sports days here. The Hong Kong Catholic diocese also runs a joint inter-school sports day, and the Hong Kong Boys' Brigade holds its Founders' Day parade and thanksgiving service on the last Sunday of October.
The ground sits near the Island East Transfer Station and the Island Resort estate, beside Siu Sai Wan Promenade and Harmony Garden. A fee-paying car park holds 70 spaces: 55 for private cars, 5 for coaches and 10 for motorcycles. Six air-conditioned changing and shower rooms serve four teams and two referees, with a weight training room and refreshment kiosks on site.
The stadium's record attendance came on 20 May 1997, when 10,500 spectators watched South China lose 2-3 to Chelsea; Gianluca Vialli scored twice and Roberto Di Matteo once, while Shum Kwok Pui and Cheng Siu Chung scored for South China.
